"Obstruction is to sedition like a parking ticket is to murder.
Why nail him for obstruction when he can nail him for much more serious crimes?"
I may have extrapolated too much from those statements and I do believe we are on the same side, that you would like to see twump in chains as much as I do.
I do understand the rationale of why he was not charged while in office, but I have not even seen a rationale for why it has been sidelined since he left office. Has the statute of limitations run out?
I'm rabidly opposed to letting officials off the hook for prosecution just because they have managed to delay things into obscurity.
We deserve to know the true status of these charges and there's only one person that can tell us anything. But he is staying tactically silent. Why? Beats the hell outa me, he's staying silent about that too. And so I'm suspicious that we have yet another institutionalist career bureaucrat struggling to maintain the status quo and not rock the boat.
Please believe me, I wish I had no reasons for such suspicions.
